Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

The special operations brigade exists in name only.

The infantry unit gave birth to the new Second Regiment, allowing Deputy Regimental Commander Kong Jie to turn the tide and become the commander of an independent regimental unit again. The cavalry regiment also injected fresh blood and supplemented the superior department. Su Fei instantly fell from the position of brigade commander to the status of cavalry battalion commander.

The practical effect is quite amazing.

Su Fei was highly recognized by the superior leaders of the Eighth Route Army. Everyone eliminated their doubts about him and planned to fully restore his special operations brigade in due time and make it a real brigade-level unit of the Eighth Route Army!

Moreover, the Japanese army was furious and mobilized an infantry division and three independent mixed brigades to launch an iron wall encirclement plan against Su Fei and Li Yunlong's troops. However, the plan was quickly terminated and the troops were given a temporary rest. Yamamoto Ikki's special forces and some troops were mobilized to carry out special operations in the area.

Yamamoto Ikki dispatched the special forces to Ping'an County, boiling the frog in warm water and gradually secretly transferring them here. At the same time, he also planned the "Bright Night" plan to carry out a secret bombing of Hulu Valley.

Little did they know that Su Fei had already been planning the final elimination plan for Yamamoto Ikki!

In the world of Bright Sword, the only forces that can pose a direct threat to Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment and Su Fei's forces are Yamamoto's forces.

In order to scout the enemy situation, he reported to his superiors for approval, trained and dispatched some soldiers, who mutinied and surrendered to the Japanese army on the grounds that they were not accustomed to the hard life and strict discipline of the Eighth Route Army, becoming high-quality undercover agents.

Colonel Yamamoto, who paid special attention to Su Fei's troops and the independent regiment, immediately realized the situation, reused these people, strengthened the Imperial Army's cavalry unit, and planned to wipe out Su Fei's troops and the independent regiment in one fell swoop at the appropriate time.

"Brigade Commander, there's a spy belonging to Colonel Yamamoto in the Independent Regiment!"

The undercover agent brought shocking news.

In an instant, Su Fei's sensitive nerves were ignited!

Now, the most urgent moment is coming!

His troops have been resting and training in Baijia Town for three months!

The Independent Regiment returned to Hulu Valley three months later. This long time was enough for Yamamoto to build an intelligence organization against the Eighth Route Army.

In the past three months, Su Fei has been living in comfort in Baijia Town for too long, lying dormant for too long, and has been bound by family and love for too long. It is time for him to go out and fight!

The cavalry battalion is also strong and well-trained, and is ready to attack with its weapons sharpened.

At this moment, a telegram from the superior suddenly changed everything. The Eighth Route Army Headquarters asked the Independent Regiment and Su Fei's troops to evacuate to the west immediately, because in order to avenge Colonel Takatake Fumio, Colonel Kuranaga, commander of the Infantry Regiment, and Colonel Iwami of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, made a crazy long-distance raid, using airplanes to spread viruses to the Independent Regiment in Hulu Valley and the Cavalry Battalion in Baijia Town, and use biological and chemical weapons to eliminate them!

Upon receiving orders from their superiors, the Independent Regiment and the Su Fei Cavalry Battalion merged and evacuated westwards in a grand manner. The purpose was to avoid losses to the troops and to protect the people in Hulu Valley and Baijia Town from the devastation of the Japanese biological and chemical weapons.

The troops retreated hundreds of miles and stationed in a safe place. Su Fei's cavalry battalion was in a mountain village, and the independent regiment was stationed in Chenjiayu!

Chenjiayu?

Xiuqin’s hometown.

The Japanese Yamamoto Special Forces launched a surprise attack and Li Yunlong was defeated again in Maicheng!

This name immediately made Su Fei alert.

Chenjiayu, Japanese special forces, Zhu Ziming, sneak attack, Xiuqin's death, Li Yunlong's anger, the tacit cooperation of the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle, Chu Yunfei's help, the Ping'an Gele decisive battle!

The final climax of the Anti-Japanese War in the world of Bright Sword has arrived!

He instigated Zhu Ziming to rebel, betrayed Colonel Yamamoto, protected Xiuqin from death, and ensured a safe journey for the good people.

He went to the regimental headquarters to meet with Li Yunlong and Political Commissar Zhao Gang, pretending to be nonchalant: "Old regimental commander, old political commissar, my cavalry battalion is short of capable cadres. Can I borrow a few of them from you?"

The reason sounds plausible.

What else can Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang say?

He smiled and said, "Okay, you can pick whoever you like! You are the brigade commander, and we are regimental-level cadres. We are superiors and subordinates, and we will resolutely obey the instructions of the leader!"

Su Fei was not polite and immediately pointed at the political commissar Zhao Gang: "Commander, can you lend us the political commissar to guide the work of the cavalry battalion for half a year? Commander, you can't be so confused."

Li Yunlong was confused. He and Zhao Gang had finally become good partners after a series of adjustments. He could not agree to it no matter what. Even if he really wanted to borrow the money in the end, he had to strongly oppose it, otherwise, Zhao Gang would be disappointed.

As an old hand, he certainly understands the ways of the world.

"Nonsense, Su Fei, you are not a decent guy, you know? Now, I have a very good relationship with the political commissar Lao Zhao. The revolutionary friendship forged in the arduous war is so good that we can wear the same pants and marry together! Haha, Lao Zhao, don't stare, when the time comes to enter the bridal chamber, I will do my best to get you first! Haha, comrade Su Fei, in the independent regiment, it is Li who is inseparable from Zhao, and Zhao who is inseparable from Li. You want to borrow the political commissar, isn't that a waste of talent? You want to pull out the pillar of our independent regiment? I won't do it! Also, the political commissar was injured in the anti-mopping-up campaign. It took a hundred days for the injury to heal, and the injury hasn't healed yet. Tell me, aren't you sincerely trying to trick the political commissar?"

Political Commissar Zhao Gang just smiled. Now was not the time for him to express his opinion directly. He didn't know what Su Fei meant or what exactly required his intervention.

Su Fei had long known Li Yunlong's stingy character, and it was just a feint.

"Oh my god, I forgot the political commissar's injury hasn't fully healed yet! I'm sorry, political commissar, I'm sorry, regimental commander, so, how about I make an exchange and have Chief of Staff Comrade Zhang Dabiao come to our battalion to provide on-site guidance for a few days? Chief of Staff Zhang's temperament is very compatible with mine, is that okay?"

Zhang Dabiao is Li Yunlong's absolute confidant. Although he looks rough, he is actually extremely smart, wise and brave. He is good at guessing Li Yunlong's intentions and has independent opinions. He is definitely an excellent chief of staff.

He was also the pillar of Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment. When he took office as the head of the Independent Regiment, he had already discussed it with Ding Wei early on. If Ding Wei did not release Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong would not come to the Independent Regiment!

This relationship is by no means ordinary.

As expected, Li Yunlong refused without a second thought: "No, there's no way. Comrade Su Fei, how about you give me an order in the name of the Special Warfare Brigade Commander and let me go to your cavalry battalion to be a groom, okay?"

Political Commissar Zhao Gang opened his mouth to speak, but stopped himself.

The independent regiment is indeed inseparable from Zhang Dabiao.

Zhao Gang wanted to let Deputy Regiment Commander Xing Zhiguo go to the Cavalry Battalion of the Special Operations Brigade. In the future, when the Special Operations Brigade develops again, Xing Zhiguo will be able to be promoted from deputy regiment commander to regiment commander like Kong Jie. Besides, Xing Zhiguo and Su Fei have worked together before and their cooperation was good. Xing Zhiguo himself has a gentle personality and will not conflict with Su Fei.

However, Zhao Gang keenly discovered that Su Fei deliberately wanted the impossible person, and he had planned it for a long time!

Then just watch and see what kind of medicine is hidden in Su Fei's gourd.

Su Fei chuckled, pretending to be embarrassed, scratching his head: "Old Chief, you have to support the work of our cavalry battalion! Look, the 386th Brigade and the headquarters have commended our cavalry battalion. If you don't support our work, aren't you breaking the organizational principles? Well, let's not have Chief of Staff Zhang anymore, just give me Cavalry Company Commander Sun Desheng!"

Li Yunlong was furious. Sun Desheng was his sweetheart, and Su Fei's cavalry battalion was not short of cavalry commanders. What nonsense.

However, it would be embarrassing to keep refusing: "Okay! But you have to provide 10 machine guns and 5 mortars! Are you happy? Your special operations brigade has a lot of good stuff."

Su Fei pointed at Li Yunlong and said, "Old Commander, don't you know that most of our special operations brigade's troops, weapons and ammunition have been handed over to our superiors? If we give you these, what will our cavalry battalion use them for? Can you scratch the enemy's face with your fingernails?"

Li Yunlong was also a little embarrassed. He patted his chest and said, "Commander Su, how about this? Apart from the few you just mentioned, you can pick any of the others. Alas, I'm not married. If I had a wife, I could give her to you! Really! But you have quite a few wives. You don't want any of them, do you?"

Damn, this guy is really one of Yan Laoxi's gang, a stingy old man from Shanxi.

He didn't know that he had fallen into Su Fei's trap!

"Then, old commander, I'll go look for suitable cadres in our independent regiment. If there are any, I'll second them to our cavalry battalion! Anyway, under your and Political Commissar Zhao's guidance, the quality of the cadres in the independent regiment is excellent."

Li Yunlong was generous this time. "That's a nice flattery! It's up to you then. Please, whoever you want, as many as you want! And, I'll provide lunch!"

Su Fei asked a staff officer from the regiment to bring the roster. After searching carefully, he immediately spotted Zhu Ziming, the security officer of the regiment.

This is exactly who he is looking for.

However, asking Li Yunlong directly would be too abrupt.

A security officer is not a top talent, so there is no need to poach him. If he is asked for it directly, it will not only make Zhu Ziming alert, but if Colonel Yamamoto has spies in the independent regiment who know the news, they will be highly alert and even destroy this line.

If Su Fei wants to make full use of Zhu Ziming's line, he must be foolproof.

He asked casually on purpose, and finally asked for an artillery deputy platoon leader, a cavalry platoon leader under Sun Desheng, and a logistics squad leader. Then he pretended to be surprised: "Zhu Ziming is back. I don't think I saw him during the breakout."

The regimental staff officer had no qualms: "Yes, Comrade Zhu Ziming was separated from us and worked hard to break through the encirclement and find us here. Not only was he injured, but his clothes were tattered and he looked like a beggar. It's true that loyalty is revealed in times of adversity."

It matches the number.

His attempt to break out was thwarted and he was captured by the Japanese army. He was tortured by Colonel Yamamoto and became a traitor.

"Three cadres are enough. Our cavalry battalion is all from Baijia Town. The cadres and soldiers are all related. Now there are many problems, and it's difficult to rectify them. Otherwise, how about adding security cadre Zhu Ziming? Four people, everything will be fine!"

The regimental staff reported to Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong came to see Su Fei and patted Su Fei on the shoulder: "Commander Su, you can use these people as you like. If you really need cadres and don't want to return them, I won't take them. However, brothers should settle accounts clearly..."

Amid Li Yunlong's nagging, Su Fei waited for four cadres and immediately explained his intention of seconding the cadres. He exaggerated the various prominent contradictions and problems in the cavalry battalion and asked these people for help.

Li Yunlong also became serious and told them to work hard and take the lead when they arrived at the cavalry battalion and not bring shame to the independent regiment.

The four cadres stood at attention and saluted.

Su Fei didn't even eat. He took the four people and the guards and rode back to the base.

It is more than ten miles away from Chenjiayu where the independent regiment is located.

The four people immediately arranged the work.

Three days later, Su Fei found Zhu Ziming!

During these three days, Su Fei arranged people to keep an eye on him, including not only male soldiers, but also female soldiers and civilians, who secretly followed him and finally discovered that he was passing intelligence outside.

A roll of paper was stuffed into the hole of a big tree.

When Su Fei got the news, he immediately called a meeting of cadres. Various things kept Zhu Ziming busy, so he went over there to check the paper roll.

Zhu Ziming used code words to tell the contacted spies that he was going to use the conditions of the security officer to cooperate with Yamamoto's troops to raid the cavalry battalion first, because the cavalry battalion was actually a cavalry regiment, a special operations brigade! Su Fei's strategic value has surpassed Li Yunlong.

After obtaining the evidence, Su Fei relocated it and returned to the village. He announced the end of the meeting and asked Zhu Ziming to stay. "Comrade Zhu, I have something to ask you."

In Su Fei's private office, Su Fei asked the guard to stand guard outside while he chatted with Zhu Ziming.

The main questions were about Zhu Ziming's return process after the independent regiment was disbanded.

Zhu Ziming was obviously nervous.

However, his answer was flawless, emphasizing the extraordinary hardships he faced at the time, how he nearly died several times, and how he managed to survive thanks to his unwavering revolutionary will and boundless loyalty.

Su Fei said solemnly, "Comrade Zhu Ziming, I don't doubt your hard work and fighting spirit. I even sympathize with your situation. Yamamoto Ikki used the cruel torture of lingchi against you. To be honest, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to survive it!"

what?

Zhu Ziming felt like he had been electrocuted and nearly fainted. After calming down a bit, he smiled wryly and said, "Brigade Commander Su, are you kidding me?"

Su Fei waved his hand and lowered his voice, "I have spies inside the Japanese army, and you are forced to become a traitor!"

Zhu Ziming screamed: "No, no, absolutely not!"

Su Fei laughed and said, "What's the information in the cave of the big elm tree at the entrance of the village?"

Zhu Ziming's face paled instantly, and he fell to his knees with a thud. "Commander Su, I didn't do that. It wasn't me! Please, please be more discerning..."

Being a traitor or a spy is a crime punishable by execution in the Eighth Route Army as long as there is solid evidence!

He wanted to resist, but found that his pistol had been taken away by Guard Su Fei.

Su Fei asked him to stand up. "Zhu Ziming, I sympathize with you and am willing to cooperate with you. Let's kill Yamamoto and destroy the evidence that he is controlling you. You can redeem yourself by making meritorious contributions. I will guarantee your safety and allow you to continue serving as a cadre in the cavalry battalion!"

Zhu Ziming burst into tears, then quickly choked up. He recounted in detail the torture he suffered after being captured and repeatedly defended himself.

Su Fei stopped him: "After killing Yamamoto, if your information is leaked, I will say that you took the initiative to find me and confess. Then, I will set a trap and annihilate Yamamoto's troops. If the information is not leaked, I will always guard the secret for you. I said that I can't withstand the torture of slow slicing!"

Zhu Ziming was extremely excited: "Commander Xiao Su, I listen to you! Everything is up to you! I will resolutely obey your command and eliminate that bastard Yamamoto!"
